VANCOUVER, British Columbia — When Henrik Lundqvist has something to say, he doesn’t hold back.
The Rangers franchise goalie made it crystal clear how he feels about the new rule that a league-mandated “concussion spotter” can pull a player out of a game to be checked. It was the scenario that happened the most recent time the Rangers played the Canucks, exactly a week ago in New York before Lundqvist was set to start on Tuesday night at Rogers Arena.
Then, Lundqvist had to come off the bench midway through the third period of a 2-2 game as Antti Raanta was yanked by an league-sponsored eye in the sky following a hard collision with Markus Granlund.
